PROJECT: DIVERGE

With the first Artist announced being Tough Tim Hughes, the road to Operation New Wave gets a little clearer.
However, more participants are on the horizon.
Is this man next? Or is it just a waiting game?
In due time, we find out.
Until then, #JustWait.

With that one statement, “Tough” Tim Hughes officially became the first artist to join Project: Diverge for Operation New Wave, April 21, 2018, at the Old Bridge Elks in Old Bridge, NJ.

Representing the style of Old School, Hughes has really grown into a beacon of tradition over his 8 years in the industry. Refining his tools at the Monster Factory in Paulsboro, NJ under the tutelage of Danny Cage, as well as the ROH Dojo under the watchful eye of Delirious, Hughes broke out of his shell in 2015 as a pupil to independent wrestling legend “Brutal” Bob Evans. Together, as Tough Guy Inc, Evans and Hughes have traveled the nation, gaining steam as a tremendous duo, utilizing methodical and throwback techniques to become a beloved, or hated, tandem.

However, with Operation New Wave coming 4.21.18, “Tough” Tim has decided to step out on his own, utilizing what he has learned to take part in this Operation.

“‘Brutal’ Bob has taught me, ‘You have to do whatever it takes.’ I’m not above anything, I’m not below anything; I’m just ME.”

“Tough” Tim Hughes is the first participant in Project: Diverge’s first Operation. Who will be the next person included? Stay tuned on February 2, 2018 to ProjectDiverge.com for the second artist announced for Operation New Wave 4.21.18 in Old Bridge.​Follow “Tough” Tim on Twitter AT @ToughTimmy or on Instagram at @ToughTimmyH.

There are a lot of questions that need to be answered regarding #Diverge.

Jon Harder sits down for the Hardway Podcast to answer some of those questions and to further open up a little on how Project: Diverge came to be. Needless to say, this story is far from coming to a conclusion.
